Former Hells Angel's son charged with murder
Ten years after he was convicted in a brutal attack on a cabbie, the son of an original member of the East End Hells Angels has been charged with murder.
Vancouver police announced Friday that Lloyd Peter Robinson, 40, was arrested in Kelowna on one count of second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing on May 27, 2023 of Jonathan James Bulloch.
Bulloch was stabbed around 10 p.m. following an altercation near Davie and Bute streets in Vancouver's West End.
He was taken to hospital, but later died.
“VPD homicide investigators spent more than eight months gathering and analyzing evidence, which led them to today's arrest at a house in Kelowna's Glenmore neighbourhood,” Sgt. Steve Addison said in a news release.
He said VPD officers had support during the arrest from the anti-gang enforcement unit, Kelowna RCMP, and the RCMP's Federal Serious Organized Crime division.
In February 2014, Robinson was sentenced to 16 months in jail after he pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm for smashing in the face of a Yellow cab driver after making racial slurs to him.
At the time, the driver told Postmedia that Robinson tried to cover the security camera in the taxi and didn't want to pay the $6.60 fare.
Robinson's father, Louie Robinson, was an original member of the East End Hells Angels but retired from the club after a major undercover investigation in which police agent Micheal Plante infiltrated the gang by getting close to him.
The younger Robinson has other convictions, including for assault in North Vancouver in 2018 and in Kelowna in 2012.
Both resulted in probation orders only.
He also faced allegations of uttering threats in August 2012 after which a peace bond was issued in February 2013.
In July 2004, he was sentenced to two years in jail for a baseball bat attack on a teenager outside the Park Royal Shopping Centre.
